Ten cars worth over one million dollars

  1. Remember this really quite smashing 1955 Gullwing Benz that sold for a $4.62m last week? Check out some of the other cars with equally astronomical price tags from Barratt-Jackson's sale.

  2. This one-of-five 1933 Silver Arrow is the first example to be sold since '73. It goes 115mph and cost $10,000 when new.

    SOLD FOR $2.2m

  3. If one-of-five's a little too everyman, you need this; it's a unique concept built by Ghia. There's a Chrysler Imperial chassis and hemi V8 underneath the fancy skin. Phwoar. 

    SOLD FOR $1.43m

  4. OK, so it didn't cost a mil. But a tractor? For half a million bucks?

    Owned by Jay Leno, you say? I see...

    SOLD FOR $535,000

  5. We're not usually fond of ride pimpery, but this one's got us fizzing at the root; it's powered by a tuned 6.8-litre V8 producing 522bhp and 457lb ft of torque. Yes. Please.

    SOLD FOR $1m

  6. This slightly unsettling goth-spec munster was delivered to its first owner - the widow of American Tobacco Company founder, J.B. Duke - on Halloween in 1930. Befitting.

    SOLD FOR $1.045m

  7. This art nouveau ladyshave is the most expensive post war Bentley/Rolls-Royce automobile of all time.

    SOLD FOR $2.75m

  8. Despite living in America - the spiritual home of Very Long Roads - this Isotta's only travelled 162.8 miles a year since it was built in 1930.

    SOLD FOR $1.1m

  9. There's no such thing as a new idea, internet. This rear-engined saloon's middle lamp - affectionately known as its "Cyclops Eye" - turns with the front wheels, just like the directional lights you find on modern stuff.

    SOLD FOR $2.915m

  10. This is the biggest British car ever built, and it's got a suitably elephantine 7.2-litre V12 engine producing 150bhp.

    SOLD FOR $1.155m
